Well, _every_ step on the EU is difficult to get past the public. Pretty consistently whenever the EU is put up for a public vote, it loses. It's only when the governments overrule public opinion that it ever goes anywhere. But yes, that's definitely true, and one of the many reasons that it's just never going to happen. Now, a different question is if Turkey should be part of the EU. Were I the Poles (for example) I would ask myself why I would want my economy run from Brussels. Look at what a good job they're doing for France and Germany, after all :-) So this could well be a blessing in disguise for the countries involved.
